This is based off a photo I was given. It’s my second portrait, and there were quite a few challenges. First off it’s a little larger than life, and it was tricky trying to tackle all the subtle changes in color when dealing with such a monochromatic reference, but it was a lot of fun! I’m happy with it. I included a detail shot and a progress image as well.
It has been a long time since I last posted anything, with vacations, getting back to work and used to the swing of things. I’ve also started working at a startup with my friends Steve Swink and Scott Anderson on Shadow Physics. I can’t wait to show some of what we’ve been cooking!
Here are some sketches I’ve done recently. I hope to develop some of them into paintings or some other form, like a 3D print.
I started and finished my first oil portrait on Saturday, it was exciting to get it finished.
I also colored a sketch in Photoshop during my lunch today for Character of the Week on conceptart.org.
